The phrase "vivid and salient" best fits the blanks as it refers to stimuli that are both visually striking and attention-grabbing. The phrase "novel and salient" could also work, but "vivid" is a more commonly used term in this context. The other choices do not fit as well because they either only refer to one aspect of attention-grabbing stimuli (e.g. "novel" only refers to newness), or they are not commonly used to describe attention-grabbing stimuli (e.g. "concrete").
